Obstructed from a career in the NBA despite offers from the Nets and the Hawks, Berkovich would carve out his legacy in his home country of Israel. That was a slight understatement, as he’s called the greatest Israeli player to ever play.

Having spent the most of his career with Israeli powerhouse Maccabi Tel Aviv, Berkovich captured 19 national titles. He won a gold with the national team in the 1974 Asian Games and a silver in the 1979 FIBA Eurobasket.
